So is it a bug or a show dog, with a pedigree like that?Brood 7 Onondaga Brood Magicicada
I guess it's a show bug since they are seen every 17 yearsSo is it a bug or a show dog, with a pedigree like that?
All over Great Neck, NY.Here's a once every 17 year visitor that is resting on my deck. Brood 7 Onondaga Brood Magicicada. Hopefully we'll be hearing some Cicada concerts soon.

It's actually pretty interesting, especially spotting a few of them.
Ah dragonflies, the fastest flying insect.I find that it is cool that Cicadas figured out prime numbers a long time ago, so that the occurrences of 17 and 13 year locusts ever showing up at the same time is every 221 years.
There's a wildlife refuge across the river in Arkansas that my wife and I used to visit (still do, though rarely) that has a forested area. One year when we went it was Cicada season. The forest was full of them. The volume of sound was just amazing. Really beautiful insects, as bugs go, though outside of butterflies, I'm a dragonfly man myself.
Very cool! I have a soft spot in my heart for boxers. My parents had boxers all the years I was growing up.I am a big fan of Boxers. My last one, Allie, died from heart disease two years ago, she was barely two years old....
With my new house, I decided to add to my family.
Meet Saxon.
How I hated Dr Smith, especially after they turned him loose to alliterate at the robot. I kept watching it for the women, and of course there wasn't much choice in those days, with 2.5 channels.View attachment 918295 View attachment 918296

I was posting these to highlight the difference between traditional and not traditional .Also betting any money on it being the last post of a dying thread...it was locked before I hit post reply.....and it would have worked too, if it weren't for those meddlings mods!

I picked up this USA Scharade 8OT from a guy for $10 this morning. 1st knife I've bought since my collection selloff. It's super dirty with gunk caked on the blade, liners, pivot covers everything is really dirty. It looks like it's been stored in an old tool box or something. The good news is that the blades are full and it's really in good condition just needs a good cleaning, sharpened and oiled. Also it appears to be carbon. I'm gong to work on it tomorrow and I'll post a picture of the finished product.
